‘”His spaceship is definitely going to the moon. I ain’t going to go as far to say he’s going to land there right now, but you’re going see another level of James Cook,” he said. “We’ve seen him in the SEC, how he evolved and became who he is. We’re going to see that being implemented a bit more with his comfort. Being able to play in a professional league with other star-powered guys, I think he will find his way with our coaching staff.”‘

‘While McDermott did not disclose the specific injury, Doyle injured his left leg during the third quarter of the team’s 27-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday night.’

‘The Pittsburgh Steelers scored on their first two possessions of the game, and the Bills came out of the gate stumbling and were never able to recover as they ended up falling to the Steelers 27-15.’

‘The Bills offense struggled to get going as the game began with the Steelers scoring on their first two drives. The Bills accounted for 13 penalties that added up to 19 yards over the entire game which did not help their efforts in moving the ball.’

‘Allen finished his day going 7/10 for 64 yards passing and one of the bright spots in the Bills passing attack was rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid who himself caught three passes for 45 yards. On Kincaid play, Allen had this to say. “He especially(Kincaid) came out and made some really nice plays for us and that’s a positive sign.”’

‘The opening quarter was a complete disaster for the Bills. They were out-gained 133 yards to 66. They were 0-for-3 on third down. They had two yards rushing, punted twice (one of which was tipped), committed six penalties for 46 yards, gave up a 62-yard touchdown run and a 25-yard TD pass and trailed 14-0 less than five minutes into the game.’

‘Terrel Bernard has been out with a hamstring injury, so he won’t have a shot to play in this one. That means Tyrel Dodson should have another big chance to show what he can do, and veteran AJ Klein is also still in the mix.’

‘McDermott wants to make sure that the players are going to feel game ready and in dress rehearsal’s once the regular season comes around.’

‘Oliver said as far as he’s concerned, nothing has changed, “Going back to high school, just walking around with a chip on my shoulder and I feel like the first four years was one contract and the next is, that’s behind me and let me go out and prove myself once again.”’

‘Klein made several big plays during the 11-on-11 portion of practice on Thursday outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center in Orchard Park.’

‘Rapp started 48 out of the 57 games he played with the Rams and has nine career interceptions. When Rapp was looking for some place to play, he liked what he saw in Buffalo. He said he had admired Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde from afar, but it was more than that, “I’ve always had respect for what coach McDermott and Brandon Beane have been building here and just going back to free agency, me just being able to find the right culture and the right team that not only fits me as a football player, but also from a cultural perspective.’

‘However, wide receiver Gabe Davis sat out with general soreness, while linebacker Baylon Spector missed with a back injury. Both are considered day-to-day.’

‘”I know that Matt’s numbers are what they were, and he did a great job, but at the end of the day, both of them graded out very similar,” said Dorsey on Wednesday when speaking with the media before practice.’

‘There were several instances of players going back-and-forth with each other that eventually spilled over to a fight. This even included star quarterback Josh Allen getting involved in the aftermath.’

‘Shell was signed by the Bills back on June 1 on a one-year deal. This after spending last season with the Miami Dolphins, starting 11 games.’
